[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7077721, member: 12731"] Could it be that you are underestimating the mismatch between what the adventure appears to offer, and what it actually does offer? (Even if you don't, I am not merely responding to you - there might be others curious about your suggestion with much less information about MiBG.) I really didn't wish to discuss individual posts above, but I see no other way of explaining so here goes. Please understand that I don't want a quarrel with individual posters, I am merely posting these comments in order to enlighten Mr Rampant as to why I made my personal recommendations as to the thread's premise :) The adventure [I]doesn't[/I] worry about Bhaal. In fact, there is no investigation into who committed the intro murder at all. Injecting this adventure into a Dragon Cult hunt would make this mismatch doubly worse - the module's fundamental problem is ALREADY that players are very likely to pursue avenues which the module is nothing about. Not surprising since the module doesn't provide any hints or leads - it's not *about* what everybody naturally think it is about. Again, this advice sounds very much like it is based on the (fully understandable) assumption MiBG is an adventure about finding out who was behind the initial murder and the escalating chaos. Hope that helps. Otherwise I feel we should just agree to disagree. Or, at the very least, take the discussion to a more appropriate location: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?364254-Murder-in-Baldur-s-Gate-%28spoilers!%29[/url] I have made my recommendation. I'm sure you can make it work anyway - my recommendation only means the module [B]doesn't seem[/B] a good fit to your story, not that it [B]can't[/B] be a good fit for that story. I don't wish to derail your thread any further. Good luck with your campaign! :) [/QUOTE]
